I have not explored the exact orders of the class Aves it affects
but most of them seem to be little affected
so far we know that the :-
Galliformes are grossly affected - 90% mortality is not uncommon
Anseriformes are the ones that are infected but are mostly silent
carriers Passeriformes seem to be unaffected
Falconiformes have been found infected - a goshawk in ?Germany?
recently You are right - tt would be very useful to know which of
all the other orders are or are not affected - there are quite a
number which are coastal, sea and migratory species. It is an
important factor to asssessing ones own risk to know which species /
orders are involved in the silent transmittors and which are
sometimes infected and which are not

Take no notice of me Jill, I am depressed and pessimistic at the
moment. Since losing my beloeved Kip last week, the world looks bleak
from every angle here. :-(

I can understand and empathise with that feeling - they are precious

There have been plenty of wobbles here without extra cause
Sincere sympathies for your loss.
